1 Introduction

The HydroCOM Service & Configuration Software, HSS, is used for data andstatus display, service and configuration of following HOERBIGER products:

HydroCOM RecipCOM (On-line compressor condition monitoring) ROD-Position Analyzer

The software has three access levels:

Analysis Service Configuration

TheAnalysislevel is used for data and status display. At this level user failures donever cause system failures.

Service is only applicable for those users being in charge of service andmaintenance. In addition to Analysis the necessary functions are available in orderto calibrate sensors and to download the configuration file to the CIU.

Warning!If the wrong file is downloaded to the CIU the compressor may trip and theequipment be damaged.

The Configuration level is dedicated for HOERBIGER Service Engineers oradvanced users only. In addition to Service and Analysis you have access toconfigure the system.

Warning!

Wrong configuration may cause system failure, compressor trip and evenequipment damages.

Passwords are necessary for logon to Service and Configuration.

The manual is built up in that way, that it is not necessary for all users to workthrough the complete document. In the below diagram you find the manualsections that are applicable for the access level you have.

Help About

3.1.1 File

OpenThe files generated with HSS have the extension *.su4. These file do not onlycontain configuration data, but also calibration data, HydroCOM status andmeasurement values at the time when the file was saved.

Use Open for following tasks: Rework existing configuration file View configuration View HydroCOM status and measurements being off-line; HydroCOM status

and measurements are shown from that time when the file was saved.

Save (as)Use Save (as) for following tasks: Saving of the current HydroCOM status and measurements. Saving of configuration Saving of calibration data

Note:Af ter sensor cal ibration the fi le must be saved. Otherw ise cal ibration mustbe repeated in case hardware components are exchanged.

NewUse New to start a new configuration.

ExitUse Exit to exit HSS.

3.1.2 Settings

Unit SystemSelect the unit system before you start configuration. SI, German, English andAmerican units are available. The unit system is used for assigning measuringranges to the sensors during the configuration process. It is not possible to use theunit systemfor changing the units for data display. Once units are configured theycan not be varied for data display.

Note:If the Unit System is changed for an existing configuration all units aredeleted and have to be defined again. If RecipCOM is connected to the CIU

the units must not be changed.

ConnectionUse Connectionto assign the COM port you are using for communicating with theCIU.

Available ports: COM 1 to 8

Communication between your PC/Laptop and the CIU is done via RS232. EachRS232 interface has a COM port number defined by your operating system. Inmost cases it is COM 1. The COM port number can be seen in the Windowsoperating system. To check the number go to:

Control panel / system / hardware / device manager / connections

LanguageYou can choose between German and English. If you change the language exit theHSS and start it again.

Change PasswordService and Configuration menu are password protected. Use Change Passwordifyou want to change from the default password to your own.

4.8 Import CSV-File in MS-Excel

If a profile is as saved as a CSV-File (described in chapter View F-Tim detail), thenthis file is saved direct in the folder Exports(this folder is generated automatically)in the folder of the Hoerbiger Service Software HSS (Version 4.20 or higher).

Following instruction shows the import in MS-Excel:

Step 1: Open File; File-Type: Text files

In row 1 the degree crank angle are displayed, at which the measurement is done(250 times every 1,44 CA). This row should be configured as the X-Axis.

Starting with row 2 are the measurement (in bar absolute).

Column A to C can be used for labelling the legend.

Check box for each measuring channel number: Select the channel you are

going to calibrate by checking the box. TagName Transmitter type Reading Unit Current Adjustment Input filed for correction value Check box to freeze reading Buttons for relative or absolute offset calibration

It is possible to use absolute or relative correction values.

Relative correction values:

Click Relative and the value from the correction value input field is added orsubtracted from the reading

Absolute correction values:Click Absolute and the value from the correction value input field is taken as theabsolute value for calibration.

4) Select the channel you are going to calibrate by checking the relevant box.

5) Check the box Freeze Reading if the compressor is running or the readingsfluctuate

6) Enter the correction value in the input sheet (example)

7) Click the button RelativeorAbsolute, depending on the calibration you want toapply. Following window opens, if Relativeis selected (example).
